I'd say when Halo:Reach launches, Microsoft will start advertising like hell, and it will outsell PS3 for a while.

Why are people who didn't buy a 360 to play Halo 3 or Halo ODST going to start buying 360s to play Reach? 


well I have heard a few people in this forum say exactly that... for both reach and alan wake...

I tend to agree though, I doubt many games are BIG system sellers anymore...   we are 4 and 5 years in for god sake.

It might not be the game itself, but the increased platform awareness that surrounds huge (ie: 10m+ selling) releases can bring in new buyers.   There's going to be a TON of advertising, and a TON of media coverage, 360 is going to be in the general consumer awareness bigtime and it may be enough to bring in a good amount of them.

Also worth pointing out that Halo as a series has been on a continual growth trend... there's a good chance that'll continue and Reach sells more than H3 (just as H3 outsold H2, and H2 outsold H1).  Popular series always gain (and lose) fans, it's not like only Halo 3 buyers will buy Reach (or that all of them will either).
